The Blue Granny Square Design

I chose a granny square that was not too plain, not too open and one that I could add a splash of another colour to and make it about a 6 inch square, I needed 12 of them to achieve the design I visioned.

A close up of the square. The granny square design came from the Crochet Inspirations Pattern Book. The 12 squares are now joined into a ring.This is the border crocheted around the bottom.This is a close up of the griddle st used above the granny squares. Now this is what I made. A nice, made to fit summer top for myself! I crocheted from the top of the granny squares and upwards in the griddle st and tried it on as I went along, I did frog it once, but all in all it fits me very well, it even doubles as a very short dress, LOL.

This is the border pattern I used, I found it on the internet somewhere and did not save the link. My pattern is closer in as I used the space between the dc in the granny square to keep it even.

The internet has provided me with many free crochet instructions and tutorials to learn to crochet. I have learned so much over the years that I am not only able to crochet, I can write crochet patterns too. When I write a crochet pattern for baby, children and adults, I use my blog to publish the pattern and share for free. I write for the beginner, the novice and also the charity workers that give so much to the community. Giving is caring and I care so I give as much back as I possibly can.

I love the edging. I never made a top before. I really thought it would be a cover of some kind. Well it is. A cover for you. Granny's are fun to make. Great job.
